Wine Label Hell


This post is a disaster of misuse. All these pics were pulled from somewhere on the interweb. They are not intended for business purposes, as the business of this blog is not very profitable. Or profitable at all. If you get mad about a pic, I'll take it down. But I'll be sad. And so will my readers. They're a sensitive (and smart, and good-looking) bunch.


I was reading a very old post on Dr. Vino today about a contest to find the worst wine label. It got me to thinking... has the worst label really even come to market yet? So many possibilities...

...oh, and I'm trying to play it cool and sophisticated, but if I saw any bottle with one of these labels, no matter the swill within, there's about a 100% chance I would buy it:






and, the pièce de résistance:


Got a pic that would make a really awesome/terrible wine label? Throw it up on the facebook page at facebook.com/suburbanwino, and let the weirdness ensue!

Your Best Explanation Needed...


Thanks, Benito for bringing this one to my attention. Such a masterpiece of photo-journalism has generated a lot of speculation, at least for this inquisitive rascal.

What say you, dear reader?

I Tried. I Tried.


I tried to write a good post tonight. Wanted to amuse, enlighten, and entertain my beloved audience on a Monday morning (recently voted by me as the least-awesome day of the week). For most, Monday means a return to the grind, still not rejuvenated by the weekend that came and went, far too fast.

Many of us folks do still labor in dreary offices with florescent lights, surrounded by our fellow soul-shattered peons, baby-stepping to five o'clock with the hope of a quick commute and a crust of bread waiting at home (Loverboy was on to something. Maybe everybody IS working for the weekend).

But there's always hope on a Monday morning: Youtube. Facebook. ESPN.com. And, of course, blogs. These distractions numb our soft brains, dulling the pain of monotony and giving us the good humor to press on to Tuesday.

Such is the mission statement of my blog: provide amusing distraction to those who need it most. Alas, despite my best efforts (meaning I stared blankly at the computer screen for a long, long time), I've come to the table with nothing this morning.

Okay, not quite nothing, but something very weird, based on an excerpt from A Clockwork Orange (as if that movie wasn't weird enough). In its defense, this video IS wine-related. And mind-numbing. Sounds eerily similar to one of my "legitimate" posts.

Anyway, see you Tuesday. But for now, try the wine.
